Physics, Science Transfer Pattern

Semester Sequence

This is a suggested full-time schedule for a student who has completed any developmental course work and has no transfer credits. Refer to the College catalog for specific requirements in selecting General Education courses .

General Education Requirements and Electives - 30 Credits

Program Requirements and Electives - 30 Credits

Total Credits Required for Degree: 60*

Notes

*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed college coursework at other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101  in the first semester at CCBC. This is a 1-credit class, and it does not count towards the number of credits required for a degree or certificate. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) for this requirement to be waived.

**In order to take CHEM 121 /CHEM 122 , students must have done one of the following:

• Completed CHEM 107  and CHEM 108  with a grade of C or better, OR
• Passed the Chemistry placement exam and completed or tested out of (ENGL 052 and RDNG 052) or ACLT 052, and MATH 083, OR
• Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.

***In order to take PHYS 151 , students must have completed MATH 251  with a C or higher and done one of the following:

• Completed high school Physics, OR
• Completed PHYS 101  with a grade of C or better, OR
• Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.

Transfer Pattern Description

This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Physics. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

1. solve calculus-based physics problems;
2. apply Newton’s laws of motion and law of universal gravitation;
3. apply the laws of conservation of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum;
4. apply laws of harmonic motion;
5. apply laws of thermodynamics;
6. apply laws of electromagnetic induction;
7. apply laws of wave motion and optics;
8. use data to solve chemistry problems; and
9. perform physics experiments and write coherent laboratory reports.
